Machiavellian plot·be ending·forbearance and cruelty·two-way redemption
In the deep winter of Yong'an, snow falls in the sky and the cold penetrates into the bones.
Everyone in the world laughs at Gu Ci, who is the number one dandy in the capital. He is a heartless libertine who relies on his family background to run rampant.
Only he knew that this cynical skin was the shackles he had been willing to wear since he was fourteen years old.
That year, he accompanied the down-and-out young man Xiao Heng through the darkest years.
He is willing to bear the infamy and be a sharp blade in the dark, blocking all open and hidden arrows for him, paving the way to the top.
The sincerity at that time was the only desperate move in his life.
But when Xiao Heng sat firmly on the throne and the imperial power came to him, the old friendship became yesterday's smoke.
Above the court, the emperor was ruthless and showed his calculations;
With an imperial edict, Gu Ci was demoted, stripped of his rank, thrown into a prison, and subjected to all kinds of cold treatment;
The last imperial edict banished him to the wilderness and left him to fend for himself.
Gu Ci never defended or begged for mercy, he only smiled casually and swallowed all the grievances and coldness.
Everyone knows that emperors are ruthless and throw away things after using them, but they don't know how much involuntary forbearance is hidden behind that deliberate indifference.
It was not until many years later that the emperor stepped down from his imperial power, traveled thousands of miles, and humbled himself into the dust.
He is paranoid, crazy, regretful, and willing to do everything he can to turn back.
But the heart broken by his own hands has long been as cold as ice and will never be warmed again.
